Another messaged: “How does Germany pay homage to Ghana? By being racist in Blackface of course!’’

Fifa is also probing claims of alleged racial chanting by Mexico fans at their games against Brazil and Cameroon. The allegations centre around use of the word “puto”, which translates to “male whore”.

Meanwhile Ghana have been embroiled in claims of match fixing.

An undercover investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches identified a licensed Fifa agent and Ghana club official who said they could fix friendly matches. The allegations have been denied.
